To help protect ourselves from "spam" registrations, the JPdb forum has a two step registration process.

User verification email sent from database@jpdatabase.net. If you did not receive an email from us, please check your email SPAM FOLDER. It might have gotten accidentally placed in there. (Such as the case with Yahoo Mail)

Manual approval by one of our operators.

If you wish to expedite the approval process: You can make a post in the "Security Clearance and ID Checks." Our operators will see you've created a post, and manually approve your account, so you have full access to the entire forum.
